Vertical Mounting Of Ez-b4, Hero-1 Reboot

Good Afternoon Community!I'm making slow but steady progress on rebuilding my Hero-1.I have a question:

Has anyone run in to issues mounting a EZ-B4 vertically?

See the attached photo.

I've looked at all the EZ robots...all are horizontally mounted.From what I can see, the power connector and the magnets arethe only "things" holding the processor in the base.I'll have to come up with a way to secure the processor in the base so it doesn't vibrate out.

That's a nice photo! Pretty awesome that you are converting the Hero-1 to use an EZ-B!

I've never had it wiggle out but if you're a bit fearful of it happening you could always place a bit of hot glue around the legs of the EZ-B enclosure and quickly mount it back in the power base. If you ever make a mistake, spray a little isopropyl alcohol on the affected area and the hot glue will easily release . It's a little trick someone taught me some years ago.

Thanks Jermie That's a neat trick!In my head, I had some kind of "rubber band gizmo" that would holdthe module in the base. I was wondering if anyone had come up with a wiz-bang way of holding in the base.

Come to think of it, I've not sure how old your ez-b/power base are but if they are fairly new the installed magnets should be sufficient to hold the ez-b in place. The magnets are there for that very case. The ez-b is mounted vertically in JD.

Alan:I tried your idea last night.... It totally worked!I used 4 pieces of electrical tape around the lower edge of the power base.See the attached pic.

I did a shake test afterwards... the processor module is stoutly held by the power base. I took a video the of the shake test, but I haven't figured out how to upload an MP3 file yet....("add YouTube Video" only loads a URL ?)
